Magnemite Mania: Spotlight Hour Guide for UK Trainers
Get ready for a surge of electric power! This Tuesday, 27th August, Pokémon GO hosts a Magnemite Spotlight Hour, offering UK trainers a chance to catch hordes of this metallic Pokémon, with a bonus for evolving your collection.
Magnemite, the Electric/Steel-type Pokémon, is known for its impressive 165 Attack stat, making it a formidable attacker for its level. This Spotlight Hour presents a golden opportunity to stock up on Magnemite Candy, essential for evolving this Pokémon into the powerful Magneton and eventually, the imposing Magnezone.
Magnemite Spotlight Hour: Time and Bonuses
The Spotlight Hour kicks off at 6 PM BST on Tuesday, 27th August, lasting for a full hour until 7 PM BST. During this period, Magnemite will appear in the wild at a significantly increased rate. This means more encounters, more Candy, and an increased chance of encountering the elusive Shiny Magnemite.
To sweeten the deal, the event features a 2x Evolution XP Bonus, doubling the amount of XP earned for evolving any Pokémon during the hour.
How to Prepare for Magnemite Mania
Maximise your chances of catching Magnemite and reaping the benefits of the Spotlight Hour by following these tips:
Stock up on Essentials: Ensure you have an ample supply of Poké Balls, Incense, and Lure Modules.
Utilise the Weather Boost: Magnemite benefits from a Weather Boost in rainy or snowy conditions. Locate a PokéStop with rain or snow and attach a Lure Module. Activate an Incense and explore the area, attracting Magnemite with increased frequency.
Hunt for Shiny: While the Shiny rate for Magnemite in normal spawns is 1 in 500, the increased spawn rate during the Spotlight Hour significantly improves your odds of encountering a Shiny. Stay vigilant and keep those Poké Balls ready!
Don't Miss Out on this Electric Opportunity!
The Magnemite Spotlight Hour presents a unique chance to bolster your collection, level up your trainers, and possibly even add a Shiny Magnemite to your roster. Make sure to mark your calendar and prepare for an hour of electrifying Pokémon encounters. Good luck, trainers!
